ATTEND THE COUNTY COMMENCEMENT MARCH 19th. ■a ... ~ . ■ - "it - r» • ' —~7 , Advertise LtvThe i BNTHRPRISE We H«ve The' CIRCULATION VOL XVI MO. 20 _ •?€ lib lubM Dr. Hugh B. York announces the installation of a modern X- Ray equipment in his office on Bmithwick Street. Themachne was adjusted by Electrician Moore, of the Electric Co., here and the 3rst radiograph made was that of the hand of John W. Manning, which was injured when he fell with a pole last year. The machine is perfect in every detail and the radiographs are as good as those taken any where. The first patient brought to Dr. York was William Carstar phen, who on Tuesday while playing at sihool, had the mis fortune to break his arm at the elbow. Dr. James S. Rhodes was called and he decided to have a radiograph taken of the injured arm. This showed that the bone was broken ia two places and other injuries. Mas ter William was made comfort able and complained of very lit tle pain, though breaks at the elbow are usually difficult to treat with comforr to the patient. Opened His Back Two colored men, who lived with their families in the same house, had some dispute Satur day night near the river hill, and one stabbed the other in the back, pausing an ugly wound Dr. Knight gave the wounded man me ical attention, and the blood thirsty coon made himself scarce. Monday he waa captured at Par meleby L. L. Rodgerson, who brought him here where he was placed in jail. He was indenti fied at Parmele by Chas. Baker, who knew him as the escaped would-be-murderer. Dr. Mary Glenton Monday night at the Episcopal Church, Dr. Mary Glenton, a re turned Missionary from China, made an address. The introduc tion and opening prayer was made by Rev. J. T. Standford, and the closing prayer and bene diction by Rev. VV. R. Burrell. Mr. \ D. Mizell led the services in the absence of the rector, who was with Bishop Darst at James ville. An offering was taken and given to Dr. Glenton to assist her in the work. Tuesday morn ing she talked to the pupils of the Graded School at Chapel ser vices.

Policeman Patrick has been at home sick this week. Get the green out for Wednes day is St Patrick's Day. Remember the County Com mencememton Friday next. Let's make it a holiday. Rev. Morrison Bethea is out of town this week visitini* his other charges with Bishop D;irst, and there, have been no Lenton services this week. S. C. White Orpingtons. White Leghorns, and Barred Plymouth R >ck Eggs $1 50 per 15. D. C. Matthews, Hamilton, N. C. Services at the Biptist and Episcopal Churcm o i Sunday. Regular monthly services at Skewarkey Saturday and Sun day. Every bit of work on the plank walk leading into East Williams ton makes the conditions worse. It might be best to take the whole thing away and place a telephone pole across for people to walk. That at least would not break through, and if one fell, he might have the luck to land astride of it. Next Wednesdy night (St. Patrick's Day) "It's a long way to Tipperary" will be seen in movies. It is fitting that this picture should be seen on that day. It is one of the new films and will interest old and young especially when the war is on in which the "man from Tipper ary" is fighting and singing all the while. "Trey O'Hearts" Friday night. R;ad this week's installment in these pages. This is the last month within the year in which shares in the Building ami L>an Association can be secured. The business of theAsso.,is splendid and com pares with that of other towns larger than Williamston. Citiz ens all over the county should take stock, and draw some of the benefit to their, respective sec tions. Its scope of usefulness is not limited by local lines—it is ex pected to reach outand help build for others. See Secretary Mar tin about it at once. Sesvice Secured Supt A. J.

A Gallon Costs More | The anti-jug law jvhich goes into effect on April Ist, and which allows only one quart of liquor to one person every fifteen days, has put some folks to thinking. This is partly due to the the increase in ex press charges will be much greater on a gallon received in packages of a quart each, than the charge now is on a gallon in one package. To get a gallon under the new law will cost about $1.12. Some of the money intended for booze will pet into the clutches of the express com panies, and so reduce the amount of the fiery liquid, brewed in Hades for the damnation of the souls of men. Miss E.He Grimes, of Bethel, and vi 18 3 Cherry, of Tarboro, have been in town this week.

Subscribe To The RN I RRPRISE / SI.OO a Year in Advance Sunday At The Churches Those who were interested in the services at the varfoo* Churches in town on Sunday, were disappointed at the unpleas ant weather, which begart early in the day and gradually increas ed , until conditions were such that pedestrians waded through the streets as the swamper does Corenine. After nightfall, sleet and snow, the latter the first of the season here, came down in a great flurry, and made conditions, underfoot more unpleasant. The day marked the begin ning of the pastorate of Rev. W. R. Burrell at the Baptist Church, and a good congregation wa« present to give him earnest at tention. The music was a atr ial feature of the services arwl those present joined heartily. Mr. Burrell, who had preached here before, added strength the impression made at that tim«, and the Baptist people together with the whole town, feel that; his coming here will be produc tive of great. Bishop T. C. I)arst made ha first visita ion to the Church here on this day. There was fuil morning service with the admiifr» istration of the Holy and a goodly number partook thereof. The sermon was drawn from Christ's answer to ihm mother, when He was found tii the Temple. The evening ser vice was attended by many v/km braved the storm, and after the sermon the Rite of Confirmation was administered to two can didates. Before beginning ins discourse, Bishop Darst* spoke a few personal words stating tftafc though he was trying to carry m the work of his Church, he vrzat the friend of every man, womaa and child and would join wttfc others in whatever was for fctae uplifting of humanity in this or any part of the country. He spoken tenderly of the Rev. VV. EL Burrell, who is his own familiar 'riend, and commended him to the people of the town as owe having seen God. He also c*- pressrd his appreciation to the pastors and congregations of the Baptist and Methodist Churchy who closed their services so that they could come to hear him a! night. Rev. J. T. Standford helrt m gular services in the morning 9* the Methodist Church, an«l axi ministered the Holy Commoma* to a large number of his peopfe. He stated that there would be mm services at night, the next re?o lar service being on the thtni - Sunday. New Use for Matches.
